How does a late dinner affect health?
Late dinner, as per experts, can disrupt the body’s natural rhythm thereby leading to metabolic disorders and weight gain in a long run. Therefore, a smaller eating window is recommended for the purpose of fighting obesity, diabetes and other diseases naturally.
The concept, known as circadian rhythm, advises eating an early breakfast and early dinner to keep the metabolic system working well. Ideally, one must eat between 7am to 3pm as per experts. But as per experts, eating it around 7pm can also do the trick to fight diseases naturally.
Doctors say that eating dinner between 7-8pm is imperative for wellbeing. In a nutshell, eating the last meal before sunset is perfect for health, even for those who are following the intermittent fasting routine. According to experts, eating at this time helps align the time with the natural circadian rhythm which optimises metabolism and digestion.
It allows the body enough time to digest food before going to bed thereby enhancing sleep quality and overall health.
